Granite & Quartz Countertops in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby & Beyond

Granite vs Quartz — Side-by-Side

We’ll bring live samples and create digital previews so you can see how undertones look with your cabinets, flooring, and lighting. If you’re tiling floors too, see our Vancouver floor tile installation.

Why Vancouver Homeowners Choose Quartz or Granite

In Vancouver and across the Lower Mainland, quartz and granite remain the most requested countertop materials for both contemporary renovations and character-home restorations. Quartz is prized for its consistent colourways, minimal maintenance, and family-friendly durability, while granite appeals to homeowners who love the depth and natural movement of stone. In small city kitchens, light marble-look quartz brightens the space and reflects daylight; in larger suburban kitchens, statement granite islands add warmth and uniqueness. Both options boost resale appeal because buyers recognize premium surfaces that are easy to live with, hold up to daily cooking, and photograph beautifully for listings.

Climate matters. With frequent rain and cool seasons, Vancouver lighting shifts from grey winter mornings to bright summer evenings. Off-white quartz with subtle, warm veining prevents spaces from feeling cold, while mid-tone granites hide crumbs and maintain a tidy look between cleanings. For rental suites or laneway homes, quartz is often preferred because it resists common stains from coffee, wine, and oils and doesn’t require ongoing sealing. For feature islands or kitchens with natural wood and stone accents, granite’s one-of-a-kind patterns become the focal point.

Design Trends We’re Seeing Locally

• Marble-look quartz (subtle veining) paired with matte black fixtures and light oak cabinets.
• Mitred waterfall islands that visually ground open-concept spaces and add a luxury finish.
• Full-height slab backsplashes for easy cleaning and continuous veining behind cooktops.
• Large-format porcelain (Dekton/Laminam) in sunny spaces or indoor/outdoor kitchens due to UV and heat tolerance.
• Thin, eased edges that feel modern and safe around kids and guests.

Commercial & Builder Solutions

We support condo developers, hotel operators, and multi-unit builders with consistent pricing, reliable scheduling, and tight site coordination. Our team handles strata approvals, elevator bookings, protection of common areas, and after-hours logistics when required. For hospitality and high-traffic environments, we recommend durable quartz lines with proven warranties and colour continuity across phases, ensuring suites match even when projects span months. For statement lobby counters or amenity kitchens, porcelain slabs deliver low porosity, heat/UV resistance, and dramatic large-panel aesthetics.

Countertop Buyer’s Guide: What to Decide Before Templating

A successful install starts with clear decisions at consultation. We’ll walk you through samples and confirm details during digital templating so there are no surprises on installation day.

Colour & Lighting Considerations

Cool daylight from north-facing windows can make counters read bluer; warm LED strips introduce amber tones. We bring samples so you can evaluate undertones under your real lighting. If you have natural oak or walnut cabinetry, warm greys or subtle beige veining in quartz tie everything together without looking stark.

Access & Condo Logistics

Many downtown Vancouver installs require elevator bookings and protective floor coverings. We measure access paths at templating and pre-plan slab splits to keep seams minimal while ensuring safe transport. Our crews protect hallways and clean thoroughly at completion.
